> It's not really religion (maybe I mean spiritual) if it remains static

Actually you have it right. Spirituality is pretty much the same as it has always been. Religion on the other hand is a doctrine designed to propagate a specific ideology, strategies, and tactics which in turn are designed to answer specific needs of the time.

I was reading a Scientific American article on the subject and found it interesting that the Church officials were pretty much against Spirituality. They felt that the emphasis on spirituality would diminish religion. After all, if the spiritual experience is the goal, there is no need for any particular religion; spirituality is reachable from many paths.
